Name of theory: Emergent literacy skills
Description of theory: one key factor may facilitate literacy development-growth in receptive language. Growth and receptive language in general predicted early reading outcomes. Growth in children's English receptive language abilities during Head Start, as opposed to the level of English they had achieved by the end of Head Start, positively predicted the children's emergent reading abilities in English and the children's ability to identify letters and words in English.
2.Laura Ann Petitto and Iugio Kovelman
Name of theory: Signed Language
Description of theory: Research with children learning a signed and spoken language from infancy demonstrates that being exposed to two languages from birth does not cause a child to be language delayed or confused.
3.Luis Moll

Concept One: Diversity
Description of concept: Being able to describe how social class,ethnicity, and race influence teaching in a diverse setting.
Concept Two: More diverse classrooms
Description of concept: In this chapter they focus heavily on diversity thats why the chapter is called "Culture and Diversity" and they are really pushing for wanting more diverse classrooms because they believe it is a better environment for children to learn in.
Concept Three: Diversity in Language Development
Description of concept: Children with either bilingual or monolingual language experience. Some may have a larger vocabulary than others and some may know sign language if they are raised by someone whom uses it. Comprehending and trying to understand their languages in the classroom can be difficult so it is important to assess the best you can to accommodate their needs.
Practical Applications: Idea One: Knowing Dialects
Teachers must not have negative stereotypes about the children who speak a different dialect in the classroom. They should also repeat instruction using different words and by asking students to repeat the instructions or give examples.
Idea Two: English Learners
English language learners are the fastest growing segment of the US population. Many students may not know how to read or write in English so it is the teachers responsibility to provide resources and teach the best of their ability to get them to at least understand a little of it.
